CLEANING DEVICE Filed Nov. 27, 1928 Patented Aug. 11, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT oFFicE- LOUIS L. FARLEY, OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA CLEANING DEVICE Application led November 27, 1928. Serial No. 322,157.
This invention relates'to cleaning devices, and has for an object the provision of a cleaning device adapted to be used in the place of, or in conjunction with the conventional toilet paper.
Another object is the provision of a cleaning device as described, adapted to be connected to a source of water under pressure, and provided with a valve for controlling the flow of water through the cleaning head with which the device is provided to eiiect a thorough and easily accomplished cleaning operation.
Another object is the provision of a clean- -ing device as described, composed of a plurality of adjustably connected tubes through which the cleaning head is supplied with water, the adjustability of the tubes permitting it being disposed in that position which will afford the utmost convenience to the user.
The invent-ion possesses other objects and `advantageous features, some of which, with those enumerated, will be set forth in the following description of the inventionsv particular embodiment which is illustrated in the drawings accompanying and forming a part of the specification.
Referring to the drawin s:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of a device incorporating the features of my invention.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation.
end 0f an angularly arranged conduit 7, with the inner end of which a control valve 8 is associated. A flexible conduit 9 permits attachment of the device to any suitable source of water under pressure. The conduit 7 comprises preferably a pair of tubes 11 and 12, connected by a swivel joint 13 through which 5 the bores 14 and 16 of the- tubes 11 and 12, re-
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal, vertical sectionalI spectively, are in communication with each other to establish a continuous passage, and
vpermitting angular adjustment of the tubes 11 and 12 in respect to each other. A pin 17 extends through the swivel joint 13, and is threaded to`the opposite side to permit tensioning the joint so as to frict-ionally retain the tubes 11 and 12 in the selected degree of angularity.
A grip 18 is provided upon the tube 12 60 adjacent the valve 8. The parts are so proportioned and arranged, that when the grip. 18 is grasped in one hand with the conduit 7 pointed toward the operator, the thumb of the hand grasping the pistol grip 18, may con- 05 veniently rest upon the operating handle 19 of the valve 8, so that the handle 19 may be depressed to actuate the valve stem 21, and regulate the How of water from the flexible conduit 9 into and through the conduit 7 and 70 head 6. The portion 22 of the conduit upon the op osite side of the valve 8 from the tube 12, is isposed in `angularity with the tube 12; and the head 6 is arranged angularl with respect to the tube 11. The degree o angularity of these members is such ythat the head' 6 is substantially horizontal when the portion 22 also is substantially horizontal, and the tube 11 extends angularly downwardl from the head 6, and the tube 12 extends angu- 3 larly upward from the inner end of the tube 11.
The head 6 preferably comprises a rigid portion 26, composed of any suitable material such as hard rubber or noncorrodible metal, 85 this rigid portion 26 being connected to the tube 11 in any suitable manner such as by a nipple 27. The upper face 28 of the head 6, is composed of any suitable resilient material such as soft rubber, and is provided with a plurality of projections 29, through each of which a hole 31 leads from the interior 32 of the hollow head 6, with the result that when the operating handle 19 of the valve 8 is dcpressed, water will flow through the conduit and lhead 6, and out through the perforations 31.
It is believed that the manner of use of the cleaning device of my invention, is readily apparent from the above descriptionv of its n construction and arrangement of parts. It is intended that the device shallv be installed in a toilet room, to be accessible from the toilet bowl; and the angularity of the conduit 7 permits ready employment of the device while the operator is still seated upon thel toilet bowl.
The eliicacy of my cleansing device is enhanced because of the soft and resilient nature of the upper face 28 of the head 6 and the projections 29, inasmuch as it enables the cleansing operation to be effected not only by the force of the water discharged through the holes 31 in the projections 29, vbut it also permits the device to be employed to actually frictionally s/:rub the parts to be cleansed without danger of injury or discomfort to the user. I/f
In order fog` conduct waterlfrom the tube 12 to the tube 11, the tube 12 is provided at its end with a bifurcated portion 36, between which a projection 37 of the tube 11 is pivotally retained by the pin 17 passing therethrough. The bores 39 and 40 of the bifurcated portion 36, and the projection 37, respectively, are in communication with each other through preferably a plurality of arcuate slots 41 and 42 in the respective walls thereof, these slots being so arranged with respect to each other that such communicationwill always obtain regardless of the relative positioning of the tubes711 and 12 about the axis of the pivot in 1 p It is to'be understood that the details of the invention as herein disclosed, are subject to alteration Within the 'spirit or scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A cleansing device comprising a hollow head having perforations in the upper face thereof, a conduit having a portion extending downwards therefrom and a portion extending angularly upwards from the lower end of the first mentioned portion, there being a passageway through said conduit to -the interior of said head, and means for connecting said conduit to a source of water under pressure.
2. A cleansing device comprising a hollow head having an upper face of resilient material, a plurality of projections of resilient material upon said upper face and having perforations therethrough, a conduit having a portion extending downwards therefrom and a portion extending angularly upwards from the lower end of the first mentioned portion, there being a passageway through said conduit to the interior of said head, and means Jfor connecting said conduit to a source of water under pressage.
3. A cleansing` device comprising a hollow head having a convex upper face of resilient material supported at its edges only, a pluralit;7 of projections `of resilient material upon said face and having perforations themthrough, a conduit having a portion extending downwards therefrom and a portion extending angularly upwards from the lower end of the first mentioned portion, there being a passageway through said conduit to the interior of said head,.and means for connecting said conduit to a source of water under pressure.
4. A cleansing device comprising a hollow head having an upper face of resilient materia-l, a plurality of projections of resilient material upon said upper face and having perforations therethrough, a conduit having a portion extending downwardsy therefrom and a portion extending angularly upwards from the lower end of the first mentioned portion, there being a passageway through the swivel joint to be able to said conduit to the interior of said head, means for connecting said conduit to a source of water under pressure, a valve interposed within said conduit adjacent the upper end of said upwardly extending portion, and an operating lever for said valve extendin lhelefrom along the conduit and toward said 5. A cleansing device comprising a hollow head having an upper face of resillent material, a plurality of projections of resilient material upon said upper face and having perforations therethrough, a conduit having a portion extending downwards therefrom and a portion extending angularly upwards from the lower end of the first mentioned p0rtion, said portions being swivelly joined, and there being a passageway through said conduit to the interior of said head, and means for connecting said conduit to a source of water under pressure.
In testimony whereof lI have signed my name to this specification.
